In this paper, a new intelligent cruise control (ICC) system is designed to provide better transient performance than existing ones during traffic disturbances. Stability properties are established for a general variable time headway. Simulations with validated nonlinear vehicle model are conducted to demonstrate our analytical results. It is demonstrated that vehicles with the proposed ICC sys...

We consider a heuristic approach for combining short traffic traces of various degrees of self-similarity to produce a longer trace that has the following desirable properties. The mixed trace is capable of modeling computer networking traffic that exhibits both shortand long-range dependence in a unified model. Synthetic traces of self-similar characteristics can be generated quickly due to th...
